Exporting Hierarchical Data From A Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) System To A Source Code Management (SCM) System

摘要

Traditionally, PLM systems and SCM systems have not been linked. In an embodiment, a computer method includes, responsive to a user request to transfer a module from a product lifecycle management (PLM) system to a source code management (SCM) system, extracting, from a processor at the PLM system, the data representing modules, versions of the modules, and hierarchical relationships of the modules from a data source of the PLM system. The method further includes creating an SCM system module having the extracted data representing the modules, versions of the modules, and the hierarchical relationships of the modules. Therefore, the PLM system can export a module to the SCM system in a process controlled at the PLM system.
